"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

This creature is a not leaf. It's a beautiful green insect that looks like a leaf thanks to natural selection. The idea is a bird would not want to eat a leaf.
This insect is called a planthopper because it can hop like a grasshopper. However it prefers to walk very slowly to not attract attention. Planthoppers eat plants.
